The Palm and the Cedar.

The distinguishing features Of
the palm tree can easily be given
in Il short description. 1t is '"und
where moisture is present. 1t -four
ishes most in proportion to the Gull
;tivation bestowed upon it. Its
great characteristic is a s,urday,
persistent, upward growth. 1t al
ways rises higher and higher. 1t
grows as long as it lives, and there
is a singular elasticity in its tibre.
Though heavy weights may be
hung on 1t to draw it down to earth,
it has an extraordinary power Of
asserting its heayenward tendency.
And then its fern is siugularly
beautiful and noble; its tall stem
gracefully and continuously rising
without branches, and its canopy
of ieathery leaves at the summit
spreading in the blue sky above
the orchards below. To this must
be added that the palm is an
-cminently useful tree. 1t hears
trnit a%hnndantly, and its fruit is
highly important to a Nor Is
its value confined to It's fru;tfulness
There is on Arab proyerb which
says that there are as many uses o.
the palm tree as there are days ir
the year.

A grand transformation has taken place
at Pinoy Point, as the two hundred and
fifty people who went there for the opening
of the new hotel Saturday night will testify.
In place OF the old hotel Is new one, and
such one as would be credit to any Of
the summer resorts. The hotel is not the
only Improvement, either the grounds
have been improved, new boats put on the

been added aud the beach has been i'm

there Saturday said to Critic reporter:
ave didn't know the place when we
landed. From the old tumble-down hotel
that made IL an eye-sore two or three years
ago to the new one that graces 1t now was
such great change that 1t was some time
before we could believe we were really at
Plney Point. The people went down on
the steamers Excelsior, Jane Mosely and
John w. Thompson. The latter had been
chartered by Mr.. Wash. B. Williams to
take those who could not leave on the
earlier boats. When all the boats had ar
rived grand banquet was served In the
large dining hall, and that everything good
to eat was there Is pretty well proven by
the fact that many persons did not leave

REAL ESTATE AND BUILDING.

A great deal has been said about Wash
ipgton's real estate boom; Its probable ex-
baustion, etc but the improvements have
apparently just begun. There has been an
apparent lul In real estate matters In
Washington for few weeks past, owing to
the withdrawal of q large class of small
operators who hold Government positions
and who became alarmed at the issue OF the
recent civil.service order for re.examina-
tion Of those now In Office and who retired
from the field until the effect Of the order
developed.
While this class was large In number the
capt al represented by II was comparatively
small and the lull has been more apparent
than real. Prices have nowhere receded
The large operators are as active as ever,
and heavy transactions continue to be made
at former or higher rates. Until recently
the principal boom has been In property In
the northwest, and on the outskirts OF that
sc zion In the vicinity Of tho residences OF
President Cleveland, Secretary Whitney,
ct al. OF late more attention has been
given to Capitol Hill property, where the
demand is now greater than ever before In
the history Of the real estate boom. The
property known as that OF the Philadelphia
Company, embracing upwards OF q million
Ctuaie ASSt hOohi1 etJuSShs thc kiu
coin Park, the largest Of the parallelogram
parks and destined to be the finest of them
all, is now, for the first time since 1867,
offered for sale.
The property will doubtless be taken by
syndicate, with the means and q disposi.
tion to make their investment profitable by
the development of the lands now lying
almost as commons. 1t is understood that
some prominent New Workers have re.
Gently Invested considerable capital in land
adjacent TO Lincoln Park, upon which fine
improvements are soon to be made. 1t IL
New York city Is member OF a syndicate
holding large area Of land In the neigh
boihood. Congressman Archie Bliss Of
Brooklyn, who has been examining Wash
irgton real estate ever since Congress ad
iourned, says he will back his judgment
with bis money that the boom In the east
erp part OF the city is substantial one
Mr.. Bliss, 1t is understood, owns larg,
area OF land between Lincoln Park and th,
Eastern Rranch.

A Mysterious Tragedy.

Molly Curtain, the colored girl who was
found drowned In the river at Jackson's s
wharf Saturday afternoon, as reported In
THE CRITIC, is alleged to have been mur-
dered. She is said to have made an en-
gagement with her lover, Sandy Carter, to
meet him on Saturday and instead Of doing
so she met another young colored man.
Carter, In strolliDg on the wharf, saw the
girl sitting on pile of lumber talking to
the other man, and, IN fit Of jealousy, he
tilted the top board and threw them both
into the river. The man scrambled out and
left the girl to drown. Carter sprang into
the river, possibly to save the girl, but he
has not been seen since, aud he was proba-
bly, drowned. Coroner Patterson was
called to investigate the case and he gave a
certificate OF accidental drowning.
